even if the host variables are in different procedures. However, if a data
structure has the QUALIFIED keyword, then the subfields of that data structure
can have the same name as a subfield in a different data structure or as a
stand-alone variable. The subfield of a data structure with the QUALIFIED
keyword must be referenced using the data structure name to qualify the subfield
name. </p>

scope of the statement in which the variable was declared.</p>

usable is issued, look at the cross-reference in the precompiler listing to
see how the precompiler defined the variable. To generate a cross-reference
in the listing, run the precompile command with *XREF specified on the OPTIONS
parameter. </p>
